Mom honors slain daughter Mollie Tibbetts on what would have been her 21st birthday.
As her family celebrates her daughter's birthday, Laura Calderwood wants people to remember Mollie Tibbetts by donating $21 to Mollie’s Movement, a fundraiser for restoration of the Brooklyn Opera House set up in honor of the late University of Iowa student.
"We are asking people to donate $21 in honor of Mollie and we thought that was a reasonable amount that anybody could participate in," Calderwood told"Good Morning America" in an interview airing Wednesday, which would have been her daughter's 21st birthday."Mollie was very gregarious, welcoming, outgoing -- empathetic. She loved running. She loved theater arts. She loved singing in the shower," Calderwood said.
"It was indescribable and it took a higher power to get me through it, it really did … but we got through it," she said."I don't wanna feel anger. I don't spend a lot of time thinking about it at all."
